Mousetraps
It appears we have a mouse hiding out somewhere in our kitchen. He's no ordinary mouse - I've set a bunch of traps. He's escaped from two glue traps. There was a large amount of fur on the traps, but no mouse. Today my wife told me she heard one of the snap traps go off, and she turned just in time to see the mouse wriggling out of the trap. I think Jerry is in our house.
So what types of traps have you found to be successful?

Re: Mousetraps
If a mouse escapes from a standard snap trap you either have a weak trap spring or you have a Mr Rat instead. Been there.

Re: Mousetraps
On the old school spring type mouse traps I file the catch just a bit so its like a hair trigger. File it enough so 5 out of 10 times as you set it down on the floor it springs. Also make a "funnel" along the wall so the mouse has to go over the trap. I use pieces of 2x4.
